Month nine was "camping" themed. I guess we've eaten too much ice cream at this point because I have to say I thought it was kind of uninspired. Bacon in this. S'more something something. Fruity mix sorbet. Coffee. Month summarized.
Except for the Muddy Buddies. Woah, that was a curve ball that hit the batter.
- Maple Bacon Streusel
Scott:
Kind of a caramel maple flavor with bits of bacon in it. Not bad by any means, but not great either. Just maple and bacon in ice cream.
7.510
Liz: Tastes kind of like a breakfast-y bacon-y waffle-y -- like one of those waffles with the maple cooked into it.
7/10 -4 for bacon
- Bug Juice Sorbet
Scott:
A tasty fruit punch flavor. Best enjoyed in a smoothie, though.
6/10
Liz: Kind of a boring fruit punch flavor. Gave it to the vegans.
3/10
- Salted Hazelnut Praline S'mores -
Scott: More hazelnut than s'more for sure. Marshmallows were there, but kind of secretly blended-in in a way that I would probably not have guessed they were there. Chocolate was present in the form of random blobs and graham cracker in what I guess was cookie dough. It was good, but no s'more.
7/10
Liz: A bit heavy on the hazelnut for my taste. I'm not seeing any marshmallow... found a chunk of something... <editor's note: turned out to be a dough chunk> good chocolate ganache...
5/10
- Cowboy Coffee Grinds & Bourbon
Scott: It's coffee flavor so it's good. That's it.
6.5/10
Liz: A decently flavorful coffee base with brownie chunks that were good. Nothing that would put this ice cream shop on the map, but a solid flavor I wouldn't mind munching on the couch. Addendum: the chocolate ganache reservoirs were better than the brownie chunks.
6.5/10 + 1 for stuffing a ganache torte in there
- Mushroom Muddy Buddies
Scott: Weird with a hint of peanut butter. And maybe dirt.
?/10
Liz: Hmm... that's odd. If there are muddy buddies they are pulverized very tiny. I don't think I would have identified it as mushroom. But I guess there's an umami flavor. I don't know. I don't think it's for me.
3/10
